Partners

The University of British Columbia provides the home for much of Project Seahorse international team. Director Amanda Vincent holds the Canada Research Chair in Marine Conservation at the University's Fisheries Centre, a unit of the Faculty of Graduate Studies. The UBC Fisheries Centre’s work includes conserving aquatic life, rebuilding fisheries, restoring ecosystems and researching the options.

The Zoological Society of London (ZSL) is another key base for Project Seahorse. Project Seahorse's Associate Director Dr. Heather Koldewey is the Programme Manager for ZSL's, International Marine and Freshwater Conservation Programmes. ZSL's mission is to achieve and promote the worldwide conservation of animals and their habitats.

Chicago's The John G. Shedd Aquarium is a vital partner in Project Seahorse, and a most generous donor to our joint conservation work. Its expertise in public education and engagement, animal husbandary, and organizational management all contribute to our marine conservation work. Shedd's mission is to promote the enjoyment, appreciation and conservation of aquatic life and environments through education, exhibits and research.
